Like a Prayer?

New chat with the teacher, that agree with my initial idea that use the rat like Banksy would be more "copy" his style rather than "use" his style, so we are back to the normal image of the pope. There is always the opportunity to make it a little more stylized, chose a different animal that could characterize more the hypocrisies of the pope and the church itself lately (or we can say almost always). John also show me some works of others artists that could be helpful for my work. Generally I'm the first that is willing to exaggerate something in order to show a strong concept, but the photo "Piss on Jesus" that John show me is kinda really strong.

The video of Madonna instead (like a prayer) is the kind of thing that could work perfectly for my work.

I also want to work more on the idea of representing  the pope with a different animal, something that would be clear to understand with his double meaning.
I'm still working on that idea at the moment, I ll do more sketch later.
